I tried to install the latest EAP Version of resharper under windows vista ultimate x64 but at the end it displays an error message and rolls back the installation, actually everything is installed when the error message pops up and i open the Visual studio I can work without problems with resharper, but I have to finally say ok and then the whole installation is rolled back :-< . But Resharper 2.5 installes without problems.As a note i installed it as a normal user and not as an Administrator.I think before the Upgrade to SP1 + Vista Update the installation worked.

By the next EAP release (and a nightly build, maybe) we'll ensure that the installation is not rolled back on such a failure …

Were there any elevation prompts?

Attached is the installation log of an unsucessful installation

I'm afraid the log is not complete, it's the log up to the failure point (messagebox, probably), but it does not include any error codes, reasons, etc yet.

From the log I can see that you've been upgrading something like an existing 2.5 installation. Would a clean installation succeed? That under an administrative account?

I ran into this same problem this weekend on Vista. I was doing a clean 3.0 build 407 install and also encounter an error. The installer rolled back the install. I was running as Administrator with UAC turned off.
